Lyrics

When ev er I feel a (C7)fraid, I (F)hold my head e rect and (G7)whis tle a hap py tune, so (C)no one will sus (G7)pect I’m a (C)fraid.

While shiv er ing in my (C7)shoes, I (F)strike a care less pose and (G7)whis tle a hap py tune, and (C)no one ev er (G7)pect I’m a (C)fraid.

While (G7)knows I’m a (C)fraid.

The re (Ab)sult of this de (Fm)cep tion is (C)ver y strange to (Am)tell, for (G)when I fool the (Gm)peo ple I fear, I (D7)fool my self as (G7)well!

I (C)whis tle a hap py (C7)tune, and (F)ev ’ry sin gle time the (G7)hap pi ness in the tune con (C)vinc es me that (G7)I’m not a (C)fraid!

(F)Make be lieve you’re brave, and the (C)trick will take you far.

(F)You may be as brave as you (C)make be lieve you are.

(D7)You may be as brave

as you make be (G7)lieve you (C)are.
